What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I cleaned it but it wasn’t very dirty at all. (Was recently cleaned). High idle started after new IAC installation. I’m hoping someone can post a picture of their cable adjusters so I can tweak my cables tomorrow similar to theirs.

 

While it is idling, loosen the 2 that can open the butterfly to see if the idle drops to normal. Loosen them so there is definite slack. If the idle does drop to the normal range, slowly snug up the tension of the cables. As soon as the idle starts to rise, you've gone too far.

 

Interesting. I’ll try that tomorrow. Thanks!

 

After you installed the new IAC did you reset computer and give it time to relearn?

 

By the way. It is 02022022

 

I did. But before I did, I realized the MAF sensor wasn’t plugged back in which was causing extremely high fluttery idle. Plugged MAF back in which helped a lot. Then I disconnected battery. Wasn’t until two days later I also realized the PCV hose wasn’t connected to the TB like it should’ve been. That helped even more but nothings been a 100% fix. I’m wondering if one of those mistakes I made might’ve had a lasting effect to cause this.

 

How much prep did your bed need, if any? Did line-X do any prep before(sand/blast/prime..etc)?

 

A little bling arrived today

 

Cool sticker!

 

I’m surprised they had them in stock

 

The sticker is the only thing they ever do have in stock

 

Was having a P0741 error code on my Ultragauge so I dropped the transmission pan, replaced the two shift solenoids and the torque converter solenoid, and replaced the transmission filter. Now on a test drive the P0741 has popped up again as a pending code. Do I need to disconnect the battery to reset the computer code or should it have gone away when I replaced the solenoid?

 

Clear the code with the ultra gauge.

 

Me too, last time I tried buying one was over a year ago and they said they didn’t know when they would be back in stock.
So I guess they are in stock for now

 

So if I cleared it on the Ultragauge before and the code came back as a pending after I replaced the solenoid, I guess that means I still have a problem?

 

Possibly. Reset it again and see what happens.

 

Finally did the 4Runner map light install mod. Color match is perfect, looks like its aways been there. Works, except the door switch doesn't do anything, which surprised me. Wonder if I was supposed to wire it differently.


I also managed to let two bolts roll down into the vent at the very front of the dash Any suggestions for getting them out? Thanks!

 

How far down are they?Harbor Freight magnet thingy might do the trick.

 

Back from powder coat. Still need to add my lights, winch, and touch up the paint on the core. Also needs to be tilted slightly forward so it’s level. I just wanted to make sure it was all good.

 

Need to throw some bright LEDs in there.
